On behalf of my entire family I would like to say Thank you to John and his team. They were professional from start to finish but more importantly for us, kind and caring
Sarah Ponton 29th Oct 2022
I really don’t know where to begin, I contacted John and his team on the morning my dad passed and spoke with Caz who was so lovely so caring and listened to everything I was telling her taking the time to make notes, explaining everything in detail, so I understood, as soon as John returned to the office he called me a lovely compassionate man who went that extra mile to help me and my family, I can’t thank them enough, nothing was any trouble they kept us updated regularly, they couldn’t have done anymore for us the funeral itself was perfect just as dad would have liked and such a lovely touch that all the funeral staff wore yellow ties on the day to match the family, thank you John your such a kind man Sarah and family of Fred Wright

Pearce Funeral Services looked after the funeral arrangements for us after my dad passed away and I cannot speak highly enough of the the service and support we received. I actually originally sought the services of another well known funeral director but was given very little guidance or support and shown little compassion for our situation. We were treated like a number on a conveyor belt! I was so upset that I looked for another company and found the brilliant Pearce Funeral Services following recommendations from friends. I can confidently say that not all Funeral Directors are the same! John and his team at Pearce Funeral Services treated my dad with such dignity and respect and guided us every step of the way with such compassion, warmth, professionalism, and care. The funeral itself was thoughtfully tailored to us as a family with some beautiful personal touches that will stay with us forever. The service itself was carried out by an excellent celebrant arranged through John, who carried out a wonderfully warm and very fitting tribute to my dad. Words really can’t express enough how grateful we are to Pearce Funeral Services. They have been so kind to my family and me and we will never forget the kindness, guidance and support they have given us through this really emotional and difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending Pearce Funeral Services to anyone who wants the personal touch and the best possible farewell for their loved ones.
